House getting concealed weapons bill

A South Carolina House member is filing a bill to allow residents to carry weapons without a permit.

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Cooper of Piedmont said Tuesday he has filed legislation to allow any law-abiding citizen to carry a weapon.

The Republican says concealed weapons permit laws and other restrictions make it less likely people who obey the law will be armed and does nothing to disarm people willing to break the law.

Citizens should be allowed to protect themselves without getting state approval. Dan Cooper wants to remove the constraint of licensing law-abiding citizens in South Carolina.
